I cut the entire bottom out of my bin and flipped it over so it's basically just a frame for holding bags and it's way easier. Instead of lifting the bag out, I can just lift the bin up and away from the bag.

I hate it when I finish eating something and then someone asks me how it was. Like... it was a sandwich. The sandwich functioned correctly. It tasted like the things that you could see as plainly as I could.

Whenever people start doing food opinion things, I just tell them I don't have a sense of taste.

I don't like dealing with restaurant bullshit or tipping so I haven't set foot in a restaurant in 14 years. Being constantly harassed by staff sucks but you can just not go.

People that write forum posts and e-mails like this . . . is there a name for it . . . what makes people do it . . . how do they go their whole lives without noticing that it's not how people normally write . . . do they write everything like this or is it just when they use the Internet . . . how much does it cost to deworm a donkey . . . sometimes when you tell people that not using sentences or line breaks makes their posts hard to read they will deny writing this way even as they continue to do it in their reply . . .

My third grade teacher gave me an F on a writing assignment for referring to my grandfather's dog as "he" instead of "it". A few years later she got killed by a horse.

Don't let this happen to you.

It's stupid as hell and nobody actually talks like that, but in school I was taught that it was grammatically wrong to call an animal something other than it. Everyone knew it made no sense, but that was what was in the book so that was what we had to do. The ESL books probably resulted from them consulting English teachers instead of English speakers.

It shouldn't even be possible to overflow a toilet no matter how clogged it is unless it's a uniquely terrible design or they are intentionally sabotaging it for fun.

Source: I take consistently massive dumps due to only pooping once every 2-3 days and when I completely clog the hell out of the toilet there's still no way to make the water go past the level of the flush passages.

Not a peeve, just a Halloween tip: give out anything other than candy. Candy on Halloween is unremarkable, but last year I gave out glowsticks and flashlights that were $5 for a 20 pack and all of the kids loved that poo poo.

The self checkouts I see have everything labeled in braille, but there's no way to actually pay without selecting things from a touch screen. Why is there a touch screen? Why not just let people insert whatever they are using to pay?

And of course the voice on it is so loud that you have to drop whatever is in your hands and cover your ears whenever it talks.

Every person I've known that outright dislikes pizza has been from the east coast, and I never thought much of it until I visited New York and all of the pizza had sauce that was loaded with sugar. Sugar doesn't go there, what the gently caress.

My phone has been on do not disturb for almost two years. If I take it off do not disturb, it basically vibrates 24/7 from spam calls. I've completely given up on using my phone as a phone. Changing my number several times hasn't helped at all.

I just opened my history and counted, 23 calls in the past 60 minutes. I have no idea how anybody that actually needs to be able to be contacted by phone could deal with this.

Is there a setting/app that will let me shut off anything related to my phone number and use my phone as data only? I don't have IRL friends so my phone number is nothing but a vector for shooting spam into my phone.

The Walmart I go to is almost all self checkouts, the scales are disabled because they never work, and there is never an employee looking at the checkouts instead of being stuck endlessly stocking shelves because there are like four people for the whole loving store. Punch in some vaguely believable numbers and go.

People that complain about anyone complaining about language. "It's just the local dialect!!" Okay... no poo poo. It's not like I'm traveling 1000 miles and then complaining that people talk funny. I've lived in the same region my whole life and I still hear things that sound stupid to me or are downright difficult for me to parse as a sentence.

When you're on the phone with customer service and they give you a URL to go to or something to enter into a form, you set down the phone to type, and they just KEEP loving TALKING. I can't hear you! How many hands do you think I have? Have you ever seen a keyboard before?

"Thanks in advance" and "cheers" should both result in an autoban. If you're going to make disingenuous shitposts, at least make it look real.

Edit: Not just on these forums, in real life too. You're banned. I ban you.

Edit 2: Actually, not on these forums at all, just in real life. Thanking me in advance implies that you expect me to do it for some reason, or that it's a fake request that's really a demand. Go gargle my poo poo, cheers.

I still write notes on paper, but I keep the notes with me in a memo pad so that they can actually be used as notes instead of scattering them throughout the house. An address I wrote down doesn't do me any good if it's on a piece of paper on my nightstand 30 miles away.

I've never understood why phones don't just refuse to record video if the phone is being held the wrong way. Or make the sensor a bit larger so it always records correctly regardless of which way the phone is being held.

"Coleslaw (from the Dutch term koolsla meaning 'cabbage salad')"

Going to have to agree that it can't be a cabbage salad without cabbage, even though in my region I'm more used to the defining ingredient being destroying the poo poo out of it with a gallon of mayonnaise.

My cursive is decently readable, but I've never been able to do it faster than regular printing because we were all forced to learn to write the letters in a very specific way with lots of flowery poo poo and pointless loops.
